Hero has been brilliant fun to watch - very agile and a great sense of humour. He has provided some classic memories for me at these Championships. Who knew a silent Athletic Hedgehog could be so amusing. Hero you are one of my Heroes of London 2017

Will miss you Big Bren. Thank you for giving the opportunity to thousands of recreational athletes across this great nation of ours , to raise millions for charity through your amazing work at the GNR. You're a legend and a great commentator. Enjoy your retirement .
